" (عن جبير بن مطعم) () عن ابن عمر قال: ما سمعتُ عمرَ بْنَ الخطاب يقولُ لِشَئٍ قطُّ: إنى لأَظُنُّ كذا وكذا، إلا كان كما يَظُنُّ، بينا عمرُ جالسٌ إذ مرَّ به رجلٌ جميلٌ فَقال له: أخطأَ ظنى، أو إنكَ على دينك في الجاهلية، أو لقد كُنتَ كاهِنَهم؟ قال: وما رأَيتُ كاليومِ استقبلَ به رجلٌ مسلمٌ، قال عمر: فإِنى أعزمُ عليك إِلا أخبرتنى، قال: كُنْتُ كاهِنَهم في الجاهليةِ، قال: فما أعجبَك ما جَاءتْكَ به جِنِّيَّتُك؟ قال: بينا أنا يومًا في شرفٍ جاءتنى أعرِفُ فيها الفزع (قالت: ألم تر الجنَّ وإبلاسَها، ويأسَها من بعدِ إنكاسِها، ولحوقها بالقلاص وأحلاسِها) () قال عمر: صدقَ، بينا أنا نائمٌ عند آلهتهِم إذ جاء رَجلٌ بعجْلٍ فذبحَه، فصرخ به صارخٌ لم أسمعْ صارخًا قطُّ أشدَّ صوتًا منه يقول: يا جَليحْ! أمرٌ نجيحْ، رجلٌ فصيحْ، يقول: لا إله إلا اللَّه؛ فوثبَ القومَ، قلتُ: لا أبرحُ حتى أعلمَ ما وراءَ هَذَا، ثم نادى كذلك الثانية والثالثة، فقمتُ فما نشبتُ أن قيل: هَذَا نَبِىٌّ".

"(From Jubayr ibn Mut'im) From Ibn 'Umar, who said: I never heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab say about anything: 'I think it is such and such,' except that it turned out as he thought. While 'Umar was sitting, a handsome man passed by him and he said to him: 'My assumption was wrong, or you are upon your religion in the Jahiliyyah, or you were their soothsayer?' He said: 'I have never seen a day like today when a Muslim man is addressed like this.' 'Umar said: 'I insist upon you to tell me.' He said: 'I was their soothsayer in the Jahiliyyah.' He said: 'What is the most amazing thing your jinniyyah brought you?' He said: 'One day while I was on a height, she came to me, and I recognized fear in her (she said: Have you not seen the jinn and their despair, and their hopelessness after their reversal, and their clinging to the she-camels and their saddles?)' 'Umar said: She spoke the truth. 'While I was sleeping near their idols, a man came with a calf and slaughtered it, and a shouter shouted at him, one whose voice I had never heard louder, saying: O Jalih! A successful matter, a clear-speaking man says: There is no god but Allah. The people jumped up. I said: I will not leave until I know what is behind this. Then he called out like that a second and a third time. I got up, and I had not waited long before it was said: This is a Prophet."
